Why does Safari open with the last page viewed from the previous session rather than my homepage?

The only way I can get Safari to open to my homepage when starting a new session is to be sure to close all windows from the previous session before quitting Safari. If I don't go through this process, Safari opens to the last site I accessed before quitting. What am I missing?

I am having the same problem but in Mountain Lion the "System Preferences -> General -> Number of recent items -> UNTICK "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." option is not available. The only thing now is "Close windows when quitting an application." which I have ticked. Under recent items there is only a list of numbers.
This seems strange to me. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?
Thank you.

Why does Safari try to reopen last page visited whenever I open it?

I can't find a setting to turn that off. In Preferences, it is set to open my home page in new windows.

This is the (new in 10.7) "resume" feature, which tries to put things back the way they were when you quit/logged out.
Options include:
* Closing all windows before quitting (as hpr3 suggested).
* Press option key when quitting,
* Press shift key when launching.
* Uncheck "Restore windows..." at the bottom of System Preferences, General
* In terminal: defaults write com.apple.Safari NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool NO

Why is it that Safari 5.1 won't load my homepage? It only brings up the last page viewed.

After upgrading to Lion, Safari won't load my homepage. I have one set. I've even changed it to see if Safari is biased against Google, but no, when I quit Safari and then re-open it, I get the last page viewed not my homepage. I have a home page for a reason. I like to start from there.

What worked for me was going to System Preferences, General tab, uncheck "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps", then I shut down my computer and when I turned it back on, it worked, I was back on my home page when I started Safari. I probably would have worked if I just restarted my computer, but I went the long route.

My safari opens with a blank page and closes back. What should I do?

Suddenly Firefox starts with the last page viewed.

I'm running Firefox 24.0 on Windows 7. Suddenly when I start Firefox I wind up on the last page viewed, tabs and all. I went to Options, set it to blank. Went to about:config and made the change there. No luck.
I'm not certain, but I think this started with this week's Microsoft download.

You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window. 
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

Why does my Aperture v3.5.i look different from the one shown in the online videos

Are you asking about the colorful icons in the video?
The video must have been done with an Aperture version 3.2.4 or earlier. Since Aperture 3.3 are the icons drab and gray - the Aperture 3.3 Release Notes are calling this:
Newly designed monochrome source list and toolbar icons.
The Release notes will tell you, what has changed since then:

Why does connecting to S/W download fails whether from the computer or iPad?

Where are you trying to download? My App Store app is working just fine.
First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Despite setting a Home Page Firefox always opens in the last page viewed. How do I solve this?

I have followed the instructions for setting a Home Page. Firefox always opens in the last page I viewed. Clicking on the Home icon does take me to my Home Page once Firefox has opened.

You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

Firefox wont always restart on the home page - goes back to the last page viewed

will close firefox,and when i reopen it, it will reopen on the last page rather than what i have set it up for our home page..

# Open the Options window and go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"

I just got Windows 7 - and it's on a new computer, so there are no old settings that need to be 'fixed'. Why does Firefox open "squished"? It doesn't fill the whole page. It's margins are about 4 inches in, on both the right and the left.

I have no other details to add, that I know of. Firefox just does not fill the entire page.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
